Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of potassium hydroxide (730 mg, 13 mmol) in dry MeOH (50 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen was added a solution of 9-benzyl-3-oxa-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-7-one (CAS: 81514-40-1, 1 g, 4.3 mmol) in dry MeOH (20 mL) dropwise over 10 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for another 10 min, and PhI(OAc)2 (1.83 g, 5.5 mmol) was added portion wise over 10 min. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, with stirring, overnight. After the starting material disappeared as monitored by TLC, MeOH was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was cooled to 0° C. and 10 ml of 6N HCl was added carefully. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and then ethyl acetate and water (50 mL, 1:1) were added. The aqueous layer was separated and was added into K2CO3 till the solution was saturated. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) three times, dried and concentrated, the residue was purified by silica gel (EA/PE=1:2) to give 9-benzyl-6-hydroxy-3-oxa-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-7-one 106b as colorless oil, 270 mg, yield: 25%. MS: calc'd (MH+) 248, measured (MH+) 248.
